Commission Meeting October 13, 2026

The St. Francois County Commission meeting on October 13, 2026, included two procurement-related actions. Commissioners approved permission for the Sheriff’s Department to seek and enter a professional services contract with Weber Associates for a one-time fee of $4,950 to review and strengthen the department’s policy manual and provide guidance on policy updates. The work discussed was for the Sheriff’s Department; detention/jail policies would be addressed under a separate arrangement. Commissioners also approved the transfer of deeds for 242 tracts to new trustee Haley Smith. Preferred Land Title was identified as having submitted the best bid, though no bid amount was stated.

The commission tabled a request to fill a victim advocate position until the following week while awaiting written details on reduced VOCA grant funding; no hiring or funding decision was made. Departmental reports covered county road paving, mowing, and riprap work, but no related contracts or spending approvals were reported. The consent agenda was approved, with no specific procurement items identified in the transcript.
